How to grow your payments app with garage door and gate installers

Your card, ready to use
  1. Your card appears in your app
  2. Tap it to pay in a shop
  3. See every payment as it happens

Garage door and gate installers fit roller, sectional and up-and-over garage doors, driveway gates and automation, and repair doors and motors when they break. Made-to-measure doors and gates are ordered from the maker, so a deposit is needed before ordering and the balance on fitting, while repairs are often urgent call-outs paid on the day. A payments app that sends a deposit link with the quote, takes the balance in a tap on the driveway and gets repairs paid on the spot can win these installers, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Take a deposit before ordering

A payment link sent with the quote means the installer can order a made-to-measure door or gate without paying for it themselves.
